I have psoriasis on my legs and have seen a dermatologist who prescribed two expensive creams. They help a little but it never goes away. I’ve been tanning for a short time in a tanning bed every other day and have seen a drastic improvement but am a little worried about skin cancer from UVA rays. Any home remedies out there? Any advice?

Rachel P asked:


I have psoriasis on my scalp which tends to be worse in the winter and is also triggered by stress. The foam works great on my scalp but makes my hair feel gross when the foam dries. How long after applying the foam is it okay for me to wash my hair without washing off the foam too? Or should you wash and dry your hair before putting the foam on?

I have a friend with this disease and i’ve heard this problem is not only a genetic thing, but it is caused by an emotional issue too… I would like to help him, do you know if there is some emotional issue connected to psoriasis?

I suffer with psoriasis on my neck. I was wondering, if it can flare up when I eat certain foods? I’ve tried ointments but nothing is working. I couldn’t get a doctor’s appointment until mid-March. What can I do to help myself now?

I won’t be able to see my dermatologist until January, and my psoriasis is spreading. My cream has run out. I’m using T-Gel shampoo for my scalp. I don’t have anything for the psoriasis on my skin though. What is a good over the counter treatment that can keep it under control until January? I’ve had psoriasis for a couple of years. I used a topical medication from my dermatologist, but that ran out and she said she has to see me before I get another one prescribed.
